Easy to bake Scones

Easy to bake Scones

Perfect for breakfast or afternoon tea.

Original recipe yield 8 scones


INGREDIENTS:

250 g all-purpose flour
65 g sugar
3 g baking powder
1 g baking soda
3 g salt
115 g unsalted butter, frozen
80 g raisins (or dried currants)
115 g sour cream
1 large egg

DIRECTIONS:

Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position
and preheat oven to 400 degrees.

In a medium bowl, mix flour, 1/3 cup sugar,
baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Grate butter into flour mixture on the large
holes of a box grater; use your fingers to work
in butter (mixture should resemble coarse meal),
then stir in raisins.

In a small bowl, whisk sour cream and egg
until smooth.

Using a fork, stir sour cream mixture into
flour mixture until large dough clumps form.

Use your hands to press the dough against the
bowl into a ball. (The dough will be sticky in places,
and there may not seem to be enough liquid at first,
but as you press, the dough will come together.)

Place on a lightly floured surface and pat
into a 7- to 8-inch circle about 3/4-inch thick.

Sprinkle with remaining 1 tsp. of sugar.
Use a sharp knife to cut into 8 triangles;
place on a cookie sheet (preferably lined with
parchment paper), about 1 inch apart.

Bake until golden, about 15 to 17 minutes.
Cool for 5 minutes and serve warm or at room temperature.

And if you prefer:

Lemon-Blueberry Scones
Follow the recipe as above, adding a generous teaspoon
of finely grated lemon rind (zest) to the dry
ingredients and substituting dried blueberries
for the raisins.

Cherry-Almond Scones
Follow the recipe as above, adding 1/2 tsp. almond
extract to the sour cream mixture and substituting
dried cherries for the raisins.
